Rare Variants Association Analysis in Large-Scale Sequencing Studies at the Single Locus Level.

Genetic association analyses of rare variants in next-generation sequencing (NGS) studies are fundamentally challenging due to the presence of a very large number of candidate variants at extremely low minor allele frequencies. Recent developments often focus on pooling multiple variants to provide...
